Dolor y Gloria

Personal Work
(Excerpt)

A series that captures the raw essence of an iconic Italian bodybuilder, who graciously posed for me after a heartfelt conversation. I wanted to explore the aesthetic perfection of a sculpted physique. During the shoot we talked about his life’s achievements, insecurities, and what’s lost along the way. A visual exploration of strength, vulnerability, and the beauty found in both.
